Transportation

About here highway 265 was completely washed out by a landslide.

When I was here, in May 2006, the whole highway 265, south of Aso-san, had heavy construction, which we carefully navigated around, only to run up against this dead-end in the dark. Apparently it wasn't just our lack of Kanji knowledge that led us unwittingly here, as there were other Japanese people who made it this far and had to turn around as well. Given the nature of the slide, it will be a *LONG* time before it is rebuilt, so I'd advise going a different route. Even to the north of this location, the 265 was very slow, though it was a fun ride on motorbikes.
